lyrics

Verse 1
So I was standing
In front of my mirror
Trying to understand
How I got here.

The path was not straight
Farthest from it
Some choices weren't great
But I never quit.

Upon inspection,
I was pleased that
My reflection
Smiled back at me!

Chorus
So even if I could
Go back in time
To try and fix mistakes
I would not change a thing
To steal my memories
From my lessons learned
There's history in my scars
That make me WHO I AM
I like who I am.

Verse 2
I lived off dollar menus
And ramen dining
But I can tell you
I came out just fine

Yeah I took some chances
Chasing my dreams
Had some failed romances
But that's life it seems

So I don't take for granted
Family and love
Gifts I've been handed
From up above.

Chorus

Bridge
Memories fade away
they don't always stay
What matters most
is that they were made

Chorus
